2009 Detecting Goals

N.J.THer · Jan 16, 2009

This is the third year I'm posting my goals and it really has turned into a post for myself so I can go back and see how I did. In my house if I write it down I'll never find it in a year from now...not that it is too messy but the wife really enjoys cleaning and papers seem to disappear...lol.

Here we go...

1. A dug SLQ.
2. A silver coin older the 1850.
3. A Pre 1900s military button
4. A coin from the 1700s or earlier - don't care what it is.
5. A silver foreign coin - have not dug one in two years although that one was a Silver Dollar.
6. A Shield Nickel
7. A Tootsie car
8. A Civil War Token
9. A Seated coin (I hope I knock out goal 2 and 9 with the same find.)
10. Contribute a find to a museum or historical society - (I did this last year and really enjoyed it)

I think ten is enough. I hope everyone accomplishes their goals in 2009 and if you want to post them here please do so. I would love to see what you are looking for in 2009. Good luck.

My goals are simple, detect more and find a coin older than 1909.

Of course at the rate the weather is going, the ground is not going to thaw until June!!!!

I went on a hunt yesterday and filled three of my 2009 goals with one coin.

I got my silver coin older then 1850 (2), my coin from the 1700s or older (4) and my silver foreign coin (5) when I found a 177? Spanish Half Real (Carolus III). I'm going to change goal two to a Silver 'US' coin older then 1850.

I hope everyone else fulfills all there 2009 goals.

Every time I walk back to the old mine area I've worked, I keep smelling an old colonial in the ground somewhere. I know that's what that smell is......and I just want to dig that coin to prove it.

Still have not been able to knock off any more goals for 2009 but I did hit a goal I was going to set for next year. I wanted to find a coin older then the 1700s. Last week I found a Spanich Cob from the late 1600s.

I think I'm really close to that pre 1850 silver coin. I feel it coming in the next month or two.

I hope everyone is hitting their goals.

Happy hunting.

My goal is to stay in good health long enough to get back out and do some detecting without a baby sitter! Monty

You are close to that silver...you will find it soon. If you want that horse shoe just hunt an old farm field.

Good luck.

I did not post goals for 2010 so I'm going off my goals from 2009.

I finally found my SLQ.

I've dug two Spanish cobs one from the late 1600s and on from the early 1700s.

I've dug three seated coins: 2 dimes and 1 half dime

The rest of my goals still remain.
